Team Member Change, Flux in Coordination, and Performance: Effects of Strategic Core Roles, Information Transfer, and Cognitive Ability (2012, background): “Specifically, as Chang, Bordia, and Duck (2003) noted, the introduction of small changes (e.g., low levels of flux) to interrupt a team’s inertia and create an environment of instability may increase the team’s propensity for larger changes in the future.”
A Longitudinal Study of Team Conflict, Conflict Management, Cohesion, and Team Effectiveness (2009, background): “As Chang, Bordia, and Duck (2003) note, the commonality across these models of group development is that teams often experience conflict—which they must overcome—prior to achieving a more cohesive, mature stage of team development.”
The psychology of whistleblowing (2015, background): “Thus, overcoming some level of conflict can actually strengthen team cohesiveness [42,44,45].”
Team Microdynamics: Toward an Organizing Approach to Teamwork (2014, background): “Both Seers and Woodruff (1997) and Chang et al. (2003) pitted the punctuated equilibrium model against the lifecycle model. Seers and Woodruff (1997) found that although there was a shift in activities at the task midpoint for teams in their study, they did not see a clean “phase shift”, wherein tea”
